It's not really about Linux. You can write the most powerful, geeks wet dream OS in the world but it is not goign anywhere (in the desktop user world) until the knowledge level of the average user increases across the board. You got about one or two more generations to go for that to happen. Just my opinion, and as you say, time will tell.

Well, for me it's at least a good field for getting knowledge about OS design and implementation. I have always been interested in it.

Why doesn't he come out and play at all in the chit/chat forum? Is he afraid of us ? We don't bite, we just simply try to humiliate one another because we're losers that have nothing better to do, that's all...

/*Darn, aimed at Brad but instead got Yves smack in the forehead, grr.... , so much for archery school */

I'll try to answer for him, since he probably won't see this message...

Basically, Brad's a busy man! He's executive editor of DevX & EarthWeb Software Development, among other things. CodeGuru is a big site (there are dark alleys I've never wandered into), and to read every post would cut your day in half... he does wander by from time to time though to test the weather here .

Hmmm, I smell a coverup here. Maybe Brad doesn't exist at all but is SolarFlare's secret Alter Ego! Another suspicious coincidence is that we have seen neither Brad nor Hometown recently!!!!!!
Brad==Hometown??==Solar??
Coincidence? I don't think so!

And who keeps leaving stuff in the middle of the floor during the night so that I trip on it when I get up in the dark? My dog wouldn't leave her chewtoys out unless someone were putting her up to it!!!
Coincidence? I don't think so!

And why did Gilligan's Island get canceled after only 3 seasons? I think there is a sinister conspiracy at work here!
